Saffron House
Saffon House is a spectacular headland property with elevated ocean views, coolyear-round breezes offering stunning ocean views from the terraces. Conveniently located on the Galle side of Weligama – one of Sri Lanka’s best surfing bays, especially suitable for beginners & intermediate surfers – with a very family friendly vibe & fabulous cafes and restaurants. Saffron House is part of the on houses collection of 3 identical houses that can be rented together or separately. Each has 5 bedroom suites & are environment friendly having been carefully designed to respect the topography and landscape of the sloping site by use of a stepped design. The cross-section and orientation of the houses maximize the natural ventilation from sea breezes to cool the living spaces. The private pools cool the sea breeze as it passes over the water in turn cooling the lower terraces of the house. Hot water is heated from solar collectors. Saffron House has views out to sea from all levels. As you enter the polished hall the infinity edge pool is on the right. Ocean views are visible. From this level are stairs down to the yoga studio & outside dining. Up the stairs past the kitchen leads to the sitting room & covered dining space. In front of here again with uninterrupted ocean views is the teak timber deck from which guests can jump into the pool. Two of the five bedrooms are on this level & come with private terraces. The other 3 bedrooms are on the next level & share a terrace. All bedrooms have ceiling fans as well as air-conditioning & all the beds are fitted with mosquito nets. From this level there are stairs leading to the roof terrace with comfortable seating & a small bar area. Right in front of property is the idyllic ‘Jungle Beach’, convenient for snorkelling & intermediate surfing, or just swimming & hanging out on a beautiful sandy beach in the tropics.

Saffron house is a very pleasant, childfriendly and tastefully decorated place with a breathtaking view. Chris, Géraldine, Cara are such good cooks, who translate our gastronomic wishes into delicious dishes. Even the children taste everything and eat it with gusto. Discreetly and patiently they tidy up the rooms, answer our questions and solve our problems. Thanks to the staff very for this wonderful week.

We stayed at The Saffron House and our trip was great. The room was big and comfortable and love the jungle bathroom. The staff were so attentive which make all the difference travelling with little ones.Location wise it cant get better as its perfectly positioned between Dickwella and Hiri beaches, a short walk to both with plenty nice coffee shops and restaurants bars even closer.An amazing stay, perfect place to decompress.

We stayed at Saffron House this past week (Last week of March 2025). We are so happy we returned to Saffron House (and beautiful Sri Lanka) after a nine years. The home is just as it was - perhaps even better if that is possible. Sadly the beaches and the village around the house has changed - a bit more noisy but it is still quite nice and Saffron House is a beautiful retreat from the surrounding noise. The location of this property is surreal and Chris and her team (including her family members) are superb in how they manage this property. Every meal was outstanding and generous including breakfast. The hosting team at Saffron House extend so much care, joy, attention and humour while honoring the space and privacy for guests. The rooms are spacious and maintained very well. This is a house we will always return to because of its location (and destination Sri Lanka), the way it is managed, the very well prepared meals and the care and affection from Chris and her team

We had an amazing stay at Saffron House - what a hidden gem. Wish I could have stayed here longer as felt like being in paradise - so relaxing and totally immersed in nature! The location is absolutely dreamy, not far from Hiriketiya beach with some lovely little food places including Raa and Lemon grass cafe. Especially loved lounging in the infinity pool with its totally breathtaking views of the ocean - unmissable at sunset. Rooms were decorated nicely with super comfy beds. Thank you to the staff who were so accommodating, arranging transport for us and getting our fave fruits for breakfast! Can't wait to come back.

Saffron house is phenomenally beautiful - lovely indoor to outdoor space, elegant and comfortable furniture, with a pool overlooking the sea - it's really magical. The rooms are very comfortable. The food is delicious. I would highly recommend it and hope to go back!
Location
Nestled on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast in Hikkaduwa, Villa Saffron offers guests a beachfront paradise. Unwind on the vast, sandy beach just steps from your door. While the villa provides a tranquil escape, the town of Hikkaduwa, brimming with restaurants, cafes, and shops, is just a short 2.5 kilometers away. For a cultural adventure, the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort awaits, a scenic 30-minute drive by car.
